Covid Color Set 2F
I primarily use acrylic paint, latex paints, alcohol inks, paper, and charcoal. My images contain many diverse layers of meaning, from the universal to the specific and personal. Many of my works are abstract. I am frequently interested in patterns and/or creating a rich, sensual surface by making layer upon layer of marks. There is often an unseen history within these layers, as images are obscured and revealed.
During our Covid times, I worked on a series of abstract paintings using vibrant colors. My work frequently gives reference to my experience with nature. I was trying to bring nature indoors and found some comfort during covid times by using saturated rich colors of alcohol inks and floating them on a paper called Yupo, a very slick non-absorbent paper like vellum. The inks and paper react in sometimes very surprising and delightful ways.
